Banks Are Warned About Anthropic’s New, Powerful A.I. Technology

In an unusual move, the Treasury secretary and the Federal Reserve chair gathered bank executives to caution about cyberthreats posed by artificial intelligence.

The leaders of some of America’s largest banks were warned by a top government official this week about a new artificial intelligence model from Anthropic that could lead to heightened risks of cyberattacks, according to three people briefed on the matter but not permitted to speak publicly.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent delivered the stark message on Tuesday morning to a small group of chief executives, including those from Bank of America, Citi and Wells Fargo, in a hastily arranged meeting in Washington. Mr. Bessent, the people said, cautioned the banks that allowing the new A.I. software to run through their internal computer systems could pose a serious risk to sensitive customer data.

The Federal Reserve chair, Jerome H. Powell, who has spoken publicly in recent weeks about the threat of cyberattacks against the financial system, also attended Tuesday’s meeting.

The warnings relate to a new intelligence model that Anthropic named Claude Mythos Preview. Anthropic has said the model is particularly good at identifying security vulnerabilities in software that human developers could not find.

At Tuesday’s meeting, the people briefed on the matter said, the bank executives were told that the new model might be so effective at finding security weaknesses inside banks that hackers or other so-called third-party bad actors could get their hands on the information and exploit it.

Anthropic itself has warned about the risks. The company said this week that the model’s advancements were so powerful and potentially dangerous that they could not safely be released to the public yet and would instead be contained to a coalition of 40 companies that it called “Project Glasswing.”

That group includes at least one bank, JPMorgan Chase, the nation’s largest, which earlier said it would use the software “to evaluate next-generation A.I. tools for defensive cybersecurity across critical infrastructure.”

Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan’s chief executive, was invited to Tuesday’s briefing but skipped it for previously arranged travel plans, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The Trump administration and Anthropic are locked in a legal battle over the Defense Department’s recent designation of the company as a “supply chain risk.” The government issued that designation after Anthropic insisted on putting limits on the use of its A.I. technology in war.

In a statement, a Treasury spokesperson said, “This week’s meeting was convened by Secretary Bessent to initiate a process for planning and coordination of our approach to the rapid developments taking place in A.I.”

The existence of the meeting was reported earlier by Bloomberg News. The Fed declined to comment.

“We’re taking every step we can to make sure that everybody is safe from these potential risks, including Anthropic agreeing to hold back the public release of the model until our officials have figured everything out,” Kevin A. Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, told Fox News on Friday. “There’s definitely a sense of urgency.”

Logan Graham, an Anthropic executive, said in a statement that the new technology would help “secure infrastructure that is critical for global security and economic stability.”

銀行被警告有關Anthropic公司推出的新型強大人工智能技術

財政部長和聯儲局會主席罕見地召集銀行高層,就人工智能帶來的網路威脅發出警告

2026410

據三位知情人士透露,本週,一位高級政府官員警告美國一些大型銀行的領導人,Anthropic公司推出的新型人工智能模式可能加劇網路攻擊的風險。這些知情人士未獲批准公開談論此事。

週二上午,財政部長貝森特在華盛頓召開了一次緊急會議,向包括美國銀行、花旗集團和富國銀行在內的一小群執行長傳達了這一嚴峻警告。知情人士稱,貝森特警告各銀行,允許這款新型人工智能軟件在其內部電腦系統上運行,可能會對敏感的客戶資料構成嚴重威脅。

聯儲局會主席鮑威爾(Jerome H. Powell)近幾週來多次公開談論金融體系面臨的網路攻擊威脅,他也出席了周二的會議。

這些警告與Anthropic公司名為「Claude Mythos Preview」的新型情報模型有關。 Anthropic公司表示,該模型尤其擅長識別人類開發人員無法發現的軟件安全漏洞。

知情人士透露,在周二的會議上,銀行高層被告知,該新模型在發現銀行內部安全漏洞方面可能非常有效,以至於駭客或其他所謂的第三方惡意行為者可能會取得這些漏洞資訊並加以利用。

Anthropic公司本身也對相關風險發出了警告。該公司本週表示,該模型的改進非常強大,潛在危險性也很高,因此目前還不能安全地向公眾發佈,而是會先限制在由40家公司組成的名為「Glasswing計劃」裡。

該集團至少包括一家銀行 - 美國最大的銀行摩根大通。摩根大通先前曾表示,將使用該軟件「評估下一代人工智能工具在關鍵基礎設施防禦網路安全方面的應用」。

據一位知情人士透露,摩根大通執行長Jamie Dimon受邀參加了周二的簡報會,但他因事先安排好的行程而缺席。

特朗普政府與Anthropic公司就國防部近期將該公司認定為「供應鏈風險」一事陷入法律糾紛。此前,Anthropic公司堅持限制其人工智能技術在戰爭中的使用,政府因此做出了這項認定。

財政部發言人在一份聲明中表示:“本週的會議由貝森特部長召集,旨在啟動一個流程,以規劃和協調我們應對人工智能領域快速發展的方法。”

彭博新聞先前報導了這次會議的存在。聯儲局拒絕置評。

國家經濟委員會主任Kevin A. Hassett週五告訴霍仕新聞: 「我們正在採取一切可能的措施,確保所有人免受這些潛在風險的影響,包括Anthropic公司同意暫緩公開該模型,直到我們的官員徹底弄清楚所有情況」; 「我們確實感到事態緊急」。

Anthropic公司高層Logan Graham在聲明中表示,這項新技術將有助於「保障對全球安全和經濟穩定至關重要的基礎設施」。

So, some of America’s largest banks have been warned by a top government official about a new artificial intelligence model from Anthropic that could lead to heightened risks of cyberattacks. The warnings are related to a new intelligence model that Anthropic named Claude Mythos Preview. This new model can be so effective at finding security weaknesses inside banks that hackers or other so-called third-party bad actors may get their hands on the information and exploit it. Apparently, Anthropic has found something very interesting.
